EMBROIDERY-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,707. dated November 8, 1887.

Application filed January 22, 1887. Serial No. 225,092.

To @ZZ whom, t may nonceim Beit known that I, JOHN SANDERS, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a n'ew and useful E1nbroidery-Frame, of which the following is a specification. l

My invention relates to improvements in embroidery-frames, which will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the letters referring thereto.

Figure l is a perspective view of the frame without the canvas; Fig. 2, a perspective View of the samewith a canvas attached and partly rolled,with a sprig of embroidery commenced; aud Fig. 3, afi-ont elevation showing a broken part of the lever-stamlard.

A and B represent the side rails of the cnr broidcryframe; C and D, the rolls; E and F, the attaching tape or list, G, the embroiderycanvas; H aud I, the supporting-arms or standards; J and II, the adjusting-slots foil the embroidery-traine; L and M, the set-screws for attaching the embroidery-frame iu the supportiugarms; N and O, the pivot-standards; P and Q, the concentrical guide-slots; R, the set-screw for holding the supportiiig-arms; S, the bedbar, T, the table front; U, the clamp for clamping tothe table; V, the set-screw for setting the clamp U fast to the table; XV and X, the ratchet-wheels; Y and Z, the catchpawls. a and D represent the pivot ofthe supporting-arms.

The object of my invention is to secure a neat and completely adjustable embroideryfranie, that may be easily adjusted to suit the size of the operator or the height of the table. The following is the construction ofthe same: I generally form the side rails, A and B, supporting-arms II and I, and bed-bar S of wood, although other material commonly employed in the construction of that class of articles may be used for the saine. I form the pivot-standards N and O with concentric guide'slots P and Q, the clamp U andall of the set-screws and bolts and the ratchet-wheel \V and X and (No model.)

pawls and Z of such metal as is usually en1- ployed in that class of manufacture.

rIhe following is the operation of the same: I generally attach the frame to thc front or at either side or end of the table in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2. If in this positionit be too high for the person who is to use it, I turn the supporting-arms I-I and I down upon the pivots a and Z) and set the screw It fast in the concentric slots I and Q, thus securing the advantage of the leverage from the pivots a and b to the concentric slots I? and Q. I then adjust the canvas as required, by turning the side rails, A and B, upon the set-screws L and M to the required angle. It will be seen'that the pivoted frame may be taken out of the slots J and K, when required, by loosening the set-screws L and M, and passed out at thc opening d. (Shown in Fig. 3.) It is then freed from the stand, and may be carried in the hand like any simple frame.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. In embroideryframes, the pivoted frame composed of the side rails, A and B, and rolls C and D, having the attachingvstrips E and F, the ratchet-wheels V and X, and pawls Y and Z, in combination with the bedplate S, the side rails, H and I, having the slots .I and K, the pivot a and b, the set-screws L, M, and It, and the pivot-standards N and O, with guidel slots P and Q, for the purpose ol' allowing the adjustment described.

2. The slotted supporting-arms II and I, in combination with the pivotstandards N and O and bed-bar S, the pivots a and b, the slots P and Q, and set screws It, for the purpose of securing the required adjustment of the einbroidery-frame and maintaining a lirin sup` port of the same, constructed and operated substantially as and for the purposes setforth.
